I am willing to wager that it is the KVM switch itself that is the problem. I have had a few problems KVM switches before.
1) We have a Compaq Proliant 1600. On certain KVMs, the keyboard world drop keystrokes. It was impossible to use. I switched the KVM out with a cheap 2 port Hawking unit and it worked fine. 2) We have a Compaq KVM (a very expensive rack-mountable server class unit). It works great, or so we thought. The other day, we swapped out a two button mouse with a wheel-mouse. Guess what? Doesn't work at all. The mouse is fine, it just won't work through the expensive Compaq KVM. Are you using Compaq hardware at all? Maybe that is your problem :) Another thing to mention... When you are booting your FreeBSD box, make sure you are switched to that box and watch it boot. If you are switched to another computer when the mouse daemon loads, I have found that the mouse won't function at all.

The Monitor and keyboard work fine but I have to hook a mouse directly to the box for it to work.
